She called her post, which has been viewed more than 230,000 times, "MASTC" for "Mothers Against Stupid Tiny Carts."

The carts were rolled out at 50 stores in Minnesota and 22 stores in New York. Many other shoppers complained about them as well, according to the Star-Tribune.

"They make shopping trips into torture!" shopper Lizzy Charles wrote on Facebook. "Especially with three kids, all wanting their own tiny cart, triple the headache. Or fighting over one! I abandoned purchasing anything and focused on survival."

Not all shoppers hated the carts, however. Many said they made shopping with kids easier.

One parent wrote on Facebook that the carts were "great for keeping the kids busy and motivated to help out." Another said his child burst into tears when they visited Target this week and noticed that the carts had been removed.

But the critics were greater in number, so Target decided to remove them from stores after a few short weeks of availability, the company said.

"At Target, our guests are at the center of everything we do, and we value their feedback," Target spokeswoman Kristy Welker told Business Insider. "We briefly tested kiddie carts at 72 Target stores, and after reviewing guest and stores feedback, we have made the decision to stop the test."
